one these days i'll do a pour downstairs.my dad got a used microwave for cheap at a yard sale.gonna try using that to heat things up instead of the hotplate.maybe it will be less messy and less or no burnt plastic involved
yes you will have better luck with the microwave just keep a close eye on it when it's cooking you can burn it in the microwave. If you're not putting too much plastic in a container. It will burn fast, so keep a constant eye and keep stirring it quite often and you won't have any problems. We use the microwave. 99% of the time. We do have Prestel pots but I do not like them. They are good because of the stirring constantly you do not get any air bubbles. The only problem is if you make a batch in one of them you got quite a bit of plastic and you cannot reheated the plastic in a Prestel pot worth a darn. So that's why I prefer a microwave because you can re-melt everythingQuote:
